Thirteen non-governmental organisations (NGOs), together with Pandan
Umno Youth lodged police reports today on attempts being made by certain
quarters to hold a rally on Dec 31, dubbed "Himpunan Guling Kerajaan',
to topple the government.
Among the NGOs that lodged the reports at the Ampang Jaya police
headquarters were Persatuan Belia dan Beliawanis Pandan, Kelab Generasi
Muda Pandan, Pertubuhan Seni Bela Diri Jamiah Al-Sidrah and Kelab
Transformasi Pemikir Pandan.
Pandan Umno Youth chief Muhammad Faizal Sufar said the police should
investigate the matter as there was a serious allegation that certain
quarters were making efforts to provoke the people to topple the
government.
Faizal said the police need to take pre-emptive steps, including
arresting those trying to organise the rally before they could create an
unrest.
Prior to this, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar was quoted
as saying that police viewed seriously the distribution of posters
calling on the public to topple the government on Dec 31 and would
investigate the matter according to Security Offences (Special Measures)
Act 2012 (Sosma).
In Klang today, several NGOs representing youths also lodged eight
police reports at the Klang Selatan police headquarters, demanding
immediate investigation into the dissemination of posters containing
such a provocation to the people.
The Selangor Youth Council’s Klang branch chairperson, Haiziee Mohd
Salleh, claimed the provocation was also spread through social media and
was a threat to national security and people's unity and harmony.
